  4. Wisdom Teeth - What Are They? First, you may be wondering what exactly your wisdom teeth are. These teeth are the lower and upper third molars that usually grow in at the very back of the mouth. Your wisdom teeth are the very last teeth to come in and they got their name because they don’t grow in until people are in their late teens or early twenties, a time when they should be old enough to have a bit of “wisdom.” Certain people may end up keeping these teeth forever, while wisdom teeth removal may occur for others at some point during their life.

  5. Common Problems with Wisdom Teeth Wisdom teeth can end up having many problems. Some problems may require wisdom teeth extraction, although not all problems will result in wisdom teeth removal. www.healthysmiles.com.au | info@healthysmiles.com.au | 03 9877 2035

  6. One of the main problems people have is a small jaw that doesn’t have enough room for these teeth. This can cause them to get impacted or stuck in the jaw, keeping them from fully breaking through the gums. When wisdom teeth are impacted, they can end up causing swollen, infected, painful flaps in the gums as well. www.healthysmiles.com.au | info@healthysmiles.com.au | 03 9877 2035

  7. Another problem with wisdom teeth is that they are difficult to clean. This can lead to gum disease or cavities, which may become bad enough that you require wisdom teeth removal. In most cases, people don’t have problems with their wisdom teeth until they are at least 15 years old, and people over the age of 30 rarely require wisdom tooth removal. However, because so many problems can occur, it is important for you to see your dentist regularly if you are near the age where your wisdom teeth should begin coming in. www.healthysmiles.com.au | info@healthysmiles.com.au | 03 9877 2035

  9. First, it is important to have your wisdom teeth monitored before and after they come in. Having your dentist check them regularly can help you avoid more serious problems. However, there are certain signs that you may need to see your dentist for wisdom tooth removal. If the wisdom teeth cause pain and the gums swell around them, you should see your dentist. If other teeth are getting crowded, then you should consult with your dentist as well. Impacted wisdom teeth may need to be removed as well. www.healthysmiles.com.au | info@healthysmiles.com.au | 03 9877 2035
